Memory Configuration Guidelines C-10
pair of modules would go in slots 2a/2b and 3a/3b on the first extender, and so on.
Install all pairs of modules before installing modules.
Step 6. Install any remaining modules, beginning with the largest memory size, filling in the lowest
available slot numbers on the extender with the most slots available.
Example - Installing new memory to two empty extenders
1. Start with the pairs of largest memory (three pairs of 256MB modules):
• First pair in first extender (Extender 0), slots 0a/0b and 1a/1b.
• Second pair in second extender (Extender 1), slots 0a/0b and 1a/1b.
• Third pair in first extender, slots 2a/2b and 3a/3b.
2. Now install the pairs of next-largest memory (two pairs of 128MB/64MB modules):
• First pair in the lowest slots of the extender with the most available slots: Second extender, 2a/2b
and 3a/3b.
• Second pair in the first extender, slots 4a/4b and 5a/5b.
3. Now install the pairs of the next-largest memory (one pair of 32MB modules) in the lowest slots of the
extender with the most available slots, then install the largest module (256MB) in the next slot in
sequence: first extender, slots 6a/6b.
4. Now install the last module (32MB) in the next slot in sequence: second extender, slots 6a/6b.
1. 14 128MB SIMMs = Seven 256MB modules (three pairs of modules and one 256MB
module)
2. 6 64MB SIMMs
and 2 32MB SIMMs = Three 128MB modules and one 64MB module
(two pairs of 128MB/64MB modules)
3. 6 16MB SIMMs = Three 32MB modules (one pair of 32MB modules and one
32MB module)
